So I had a gig on Friday night and I invited a good friend of mine, Joshua Messick,who just happens to be a national champion as well, to play with me. We had loads of fun and only an hour to practice but we came up with some fun stuff anyway. That’s what music is all about right. So here’s a little video of us just goofing around.

Well there’s always room for something new. I love the way that you all are pushing me to do different styles. It’s been tons of fun. Let’s swing for Valentines Day everyone! Have a great weekend, enjoy the music and pass this on to someone you love. ;-0

This request comes from Pam in Cincinnati. I was searching for inspiration and found it in a candle. I lit one and the arrangement just seemed to materialize out of nowhere. I really like this, what I would call, simple but effective arrangement. I’ll touch it up and it will be ready for your consumption. Enjoy.

Well here we go. Doing a Beatles song is one thing but to try and pull off ABBA is a whole other game. I’m not trying to say that ABBA was better than the Beatles only that they’re very different in style.

This was a lot of fun to learn and in some respects it came fairly easy but as you will hear, sometimes my hands just were not remembering exactly where to go. It’s one part muscle memory and one part knowing what note you’re supposed to hit.

It was a late night stint for me but with Wesley’s help we got it shot at the 11th hour for you. I hope you enjoy this spread of styles that’s coming out for Fan Friday. The family is enjoying it here for sure. Wes was already trying to play this song between my practice times. That’s pretty cool to see and hear.

Thanks for the requests and keep them coming. Please share these videos with your friends on Facebook and such. Spread the music.

When DulcimerDan asked for this song a couple weeks ago I didn’t know it at all but when I listened to it…wow. My goal is to work it up so that I have a little percussion loop behind it, made with hitting the dulcimer, and then make a little melodic loop to play behind the whole song for a droning harp kind of sound. When you see me in concert next, I hope to have that part worked out. But here you go, the song in it’s infancy. with a little UGH, in there too that Donna wouldn’t let me take out. Enjoy.
